    Danny is a great front end developer. He is forward thinking and always up to date with cutting edge JS applications and techniques with for front end and middleware. He has a broad scope of abilities in complimentary areas such as AWS and container based application service. He's creative and good at applied trouble-shooting. He is a great team-member and I hope to get to work with him again.

  • Scott Luther

    Daniel is a rockstar developer with extensive knowledge of both the Frontend (Angular.js, jQuery, CSS, HTML), the Backend (PHP, Node.js), and DevOps. Definitely not a Jack-of-All-Trades, he's actually the Ace you're looking for. He's as sharp as they come, and since he's able to intuitively understand real-world problems, he's meticulous in developing solutions to defeat them. He's no mere developer - he's an engineer, an architect. He takes pride in his craft to create beautiful code and enjoys creating beautiful solutions for both customers and developers alike. He's definitely the Dragon Slayer you're looking for.

    Daniel is hard-working, skilled, and knowledgeable!
